FMC raises thousands in Montreal sponsorship

This past weekend, on Aug. 28 and Aug. 29, 10 representatives from Fraser Milner Casgrain LLP (FMC) joined more than 2,200 other men and women in a marathon walk through the streets of Montreal as part of the Pharmaprix (TM) Weekend to End Women’s Cancers.

The two-day walk over a distance of 60 kilometres raised more than $5.1 million for the Segal Cancer Centre of the Jewish General Hospital.

The FMC representatives raised more than $22,000, exceeding the $20,000 objective they set for themselves.

FMC was also one of the event’s principal sponsors this year.

Since 2005, the Canadian Weekend event has raised more than $36 million. Similar events have recently taken place in Ottawa, Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver and one in Toronto is upcoming.

In Canada, one woman in seven will be diagnosed with some form of women’s cancer, according to statistics.
